The question isn't specific enough. First off, are we talking about a chicken egg? If we're not talking about specifically chicken eggs, then eggs definitely came first, because nearly every animal hatches from an egg of some sort.
However, if we're talking about a chicken egg, then the answer of the question is based on your definition of "Chicken Egg."
A chicken egg is either:
a) An egg laid by a chicken
b) An egg that contains a chicken embryo
c) An egg laid by a chicken that contains a chicken embryo
If your definition is "a," an egg laid by a chicken, then the answer to the question would be that a chicken came first. The only way there could be a chicken egg, according to your definition, is if a chicken laid it. So, the chicken came first.
If your definition is "b," an egg that contains a chicken embryo, then the answer to the question would be that the egg came first. An ancestory of the chicken, that through evolution, was very chicken-like, but not fully a chicken, laid the egg that contained an embryo of what is the first chicken.
If your definition is "c," an egg that was laid by a chicken and contains a chicken embryo, then the answer is a chicken. A very close ancestory of the chicken laid an egg that contained a chicken embryo (but wasn't laid by a chicken). Out came the first chicken, who then laid an egg that would be considered the first chicken egg.

The chicken, definitely the chicken. How can an egg simply appear? Well, then again, how can the chicken simply appear? But first things first, the chicken has to lay the egg, so it must be the chicken that came first.

The egg of the pre chicken which evolved into a chicken. It just seems that the question is older.

well neither. the chicken has 2 have a rooster to produced eggs that r fertile. the egg must b kept worm. so during the night it would cool down. so i guess "this stupid quistion" wins.
